My mate smokes the new latest one, the one you put liquid in, suppose to be good apparently. Am thinking of converting to one.
Yeah they the ones im thinking about myself, kid at work used to smoke 30 a day, costing him £80 a week, since hes been on them it costs him £5 a fortnight..
My mate at work who was smoking 20 a day gave up using one, the only problem is that he is still on the e-cig but he isn't spending anywhere near as much as he was.
30 cigarettes a day? Did he have much time to do other stuff, apart from smoking? 300 quid a month and killing yourself in the process, crazy.
What are your reasons for converting? If it's to give up smoking then great but you'll still have to use some degree of will power to ween yourself of the nicotine that you'll be taking with the eCig. For what it's worth, I used to smoke 20 or so a day and I haven't smoked since 29 Dec last year. This is due in no small part to eCigs which I found broke the habit for me. I used the eCig for a month or so like a normal cigarette then I found it pretty easy to stop taking the eCig. I only now use one when I know I'm going out for a good drinking session which is only time I get cravings and even these are becoming occasional. I must add that I wanted to stop and still used a serious amount of will power to prevent myself going back to the dark days. I had tried almost everything else to try and stop and I found the combination of eCigs and will power to work best for me. Good luck and I hope you reach your goal.
pppfff, 30 cigs a day? He's an amateur. Not that I spend anywhere near £80 a week like as I smoke roll-ups.
Good luck to them I say I will carry on funding the NHS to keep em alive Not prepared to fund the clean up of em though
You haven't got a clue what you're on about have you? Not only are you a troll but you're a bit of a mong too.
Get's me the people who have never smoked who just say "stop smoking", it's not as easy as that. I don't smoke unless I've had a beer, although I used to smoke 20 a day, took a lot of effort to break that habit but I love a *** when I've had a beer and I'm happy to keep doing that, a cig when you're drinking is really nice to be honest!
not so cracking when they all come in at work off their *** break (1 of god knows how many). The smell of nicotine fills the room. Still better than the smoke but god it honks. And then they sit their coughing a lung up suggesting they need to smoke to stop the coughing - erm hello...thats ya body trying to clear your airways! Glad im not a slave to those things.
Smokers cost the NHS anywhere between £2 billion and £5 billion per year in health care, depending which sources you believe. Smoking generates about £12 billion per year in taxes. Smokers, therefore, contribute anywhere from twice as much to 6 times as much as they take out. So really, we're funding the NHS for you. But it's not really as simple as that because a lot of smokers die younger. The vast majority of treatment you will receive in your life will be when you get old. Smokers tend not to get that because they're already dead. So not only do they put a lot of money in, they tend to die off before becoming a burden in old age. Not a great argument for smoking, I grant you, but as you brought up money. Everyone knows that smoking is bad for you. I think the laws on smoking inside public places are very good, in that non-smokers are no longer bothered by those of us who smoke. It really should have been brought in years ago. As a result of the new laws the majority of decent people no longer feel the need to complain and have adopted a live and let live policy as far as smoking is concerned. So long as we're not bothering anyone else with our cigarettes they're happy to let us do what we like. Just like they're happy to let people do anything else they like in other aspects of their life, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Maybe, if you adopted such a policy, and weren't so judgemental ALL THE TIME, you might find that some people could grow to actually like you. You never know, it couldn't hurt, could it?
It can be argued that smokers fund their own use of the nhs through the tax they pay on their cigs. And plenty left over to treat other people.
